“At the end of the Tom Scharpling interview, after the guest had discussed his experience with mental illness and electroconvulsive therapy as a child, host Jesse Thorne thanked him for… getting vaccinated. Then he reminded the audience that he and those he works with all think fascism is bad (WHAAA?) and bigotry based on gender identity is wrong (DOUBLEWHAAA?). These were such powerfully instructive moral lessons for me that I had to get in my car, drive it a little, then pull over to the side of the road in stunned silence because my whole worldview had shifted.
Near the start of his interview with Charlie Day, he said that a friend his had, like, the most, like, *practical* job an artist could have: playing piano at a Nordstrom’s. His point (which I’m sure you already know) was that teaching music theory is also practical.
My most charitable interpretation is that this podcast is a parody of celebrity interview shows. But unlike The Larry Sanders show, it’s not funny.”
